"Corporate wellness may be in, but that doesn't seem to be stopping companies from splurging on champagne and steak this holiday season. TikTokers are giving the internet a glimpse into consulting and tech companies' holiday parties, from ice skating to raves. It appears that some consulting firms consulted with the same venue - Deloitte and KPMG's parties both seem to take place at Le Grand Palais des Glaces, an indoor ice skating rink with a mock Eiffel Tower, according to videos on TikTok."
"The post about KPMG's party includes a figure skating performance, drinks, and oysters lying on a bed of ice. A post that said it was of Deloitte's event also featured a figure skating show, with a group of performers in yellow dresses, rather than the duet performance for KPMG employees. In terms of food, the apparent Deloitte bash offered bubbly, oysters, and a dish featuring truffle mushrooms, according to one video."
"A representative for KPMG said that the firm's New York City holiday party took place at The Overview, an event space in the Javits Center, and featured live music, a holiday menu, and photo stations. In San Fransico, the Cirque du Soleil-themed party was at the San Francisco Design Center. None of the other companies responded to a request for comment from Business Insider, and the videos saying they're of the parties have not been verified."
Companies are hosting extravagant holiday parties despite corporate wellness trends, with consulting and tech firms showcasing lavish food, live entertainment, and themed productions. TikTok posts show Deloitte and KPMG events appearing to take place at Le Grand Palais des Glaces, an indoor ice rink with a mock Eiffel Tower; KPMG confirmed over 3,000 attendees at its Paris party. Video clips depict figure skating performances, oysters on ice, champagne, truffle dishes, and raves. A KPMG representative described separate New York and San Francisco events with live music and Cirque du Soleil themes. Some videos remain unverified and several firms did not respond to requests for comment.
